My Dear Editor;-I offer you my hearty
congratulations, and through the medium Of
your paper, congratulate the good people
Of Bottinesu town and county, on the victory
of yesterday. Our lady friends deserve the
highest commendation. Clearly, our success
|; was largely the result Of the we'll directed
efforts Of the Nv. C. L. u"
The ladies Of Bottineau Co. said, eve must
have prohibition Woman has more force
Of character and frmAsss Of will, than she
formerly received credit for.
Hshe will, she WILL, you may depend on
il; II she wont, she WONT, and there's an
end ont" The world is beginning to rscog-
uize that fact. Mr.. Editor, keep in harmony
with the ladies Of Bottineau Co., and your pa
per will be on the winning side. 1t occurred
TO me, that if my "better half' saw these ex-
pressions Of praise, she might oven think
more highly Of me than at present The re-
suit Of yesterdays vote will speedily become
known throughout this vast country. Botti-
nsau will come to the front. Our taxos will
be lower; our 'sboys'' safer; our people hap
pier, than in those counties where they en-
joy(!) the ssloon.
Now let US try and be very good through
the winter. HKRBRRT PRoBBRr.

only had one large sail with us, so we
seized the oars and pulled merrily against
the breeze. Songs were sung and stories
were told and occasionally part Of the
hunters would land and hunt along shore
and in this way much miscellaneous game
was bagged, including owls, eagles and
pheasants. A dead row of miles against
a lively breeze requires considerable time
and patience and the exercise of consider
able muscular power but it was finally ac-
complished and although we got no ducks
we learned their haunts and next time we
go we intend to be on the grounds by
break of day and then hope to give you
an account of more successful hunt; but
Notwithstanding our i'll luck all our party
were we'll pleased and enjoyed our trip
very much. The weather generally has
been very fine since we came here to live.
This is a new town about years old, has
5000 population and is growing rapidly.
There is a trout stream within the town
limits and not long ago I went out one
afternoon and caught 80 nice large trout.
The trouting season expired on 18th of
this month. They are often caught weigh
ing from to lbs. each, although l did
not get any as large as that myself. Well,
Jake, II you think you can spare the time,
just take a run up here next summer and
we will go where we can catch those big
fellows. l am getting pretty well ac
quainted with the country and by that
time 1 will know all the good fishing
grounds. Respectfully Yours,
WIN. G. CoBURN.

ton, we'll and favorably known to all
our older class of citizens. William
was, believe, the only son out of
family Of six or seven, and an excel.
lent citizen and neighbor he was. Of
a quiet and pleasant disposition it was
always a pleasure to meet aud have a
chat with him, and all who knew him,
especially bis intimate friends, will
miss him very much. Being a mem.
Der of the Odd Fellows lodge Of this
place that order took charge Of and
conducted the fuuersl here on Satur.
day last, and during his sickness did
nobly in ministering to his wants.
Mr.. FELTON, was aged triAe over AZ
years and leaves a wife and one son,
besides his mother, several sisters, and
a host Of friends to mourn his death.
The railroad company should
provide entertainment, in the shape of
locust clubs and stalwart men, for the
crowd Of fellows who 60 on all excur.
sioDs we'll loaded with whiskey. Every
excursion or low rate train run on this
Division for number of years back
has been the scene of drunken brawls
and fights, so much so that now re
spectacle people in any numbers will
not 60 on them. On train of eight
or ten cars the regular train men have
all they can do to attend to their le.
gitimate business, without acting as
knockers.down and draggers. out. If
the officials will put on a gang of

witnessed and heard on the trains from
Warren during Fair week and last
Wed dnesday evening will be done away

compelled to fight in order to protect
women and children. - Tidioute Ne,os
james B. Fisher, editor of the
Keystone Gazette, Of Waynesborough,
Franklin county, paid a flying visit
recently to Thomas b. Taylor. Mr..
Fisher was one of the transcribing
clerks under Message Clerk Taylor in
the last Legislature. He was one Of
the most efficient men on the Hill and
was so complimented by the Governor
and Auditor General. Mr.. Fisher is
candidate for seat in the next Leg.
islature and Franklin county could
not do better, for he is well acquainte ted
with all the leaders of the party and
has made himself so well acquainted
with the details of legislatson that he
could fill the position with credit to
the county and himself. - Chester Daily
Times.
We can endorse all ofthat and more
too. And when Bro. Fisher comes
before the people of Franklin county
as a candidate for the Legislature, they
will simply stand in their own light il
they don't send him there. His
thorough acquaintance with the ins
and outs, ups and downs of legislation
could not have been acquired in a
half dozen terms sitting as member.
The Republicans of Franklin cannot,
in justice to themselves, overlook Mr..
Fishers claims.

Range was a daughter of the late Wm
Hunter, aud one of large family of
boys aud girls. She was a most indus.
trious lady, esteemed in high degree
for her amiable, good hearted and
and charitable disposition. She was
kind almost to a fault, as all know
who have enjoyed her generous hospi-

death will be received with deepest
grief by her many old friends here and
elsewhere. Her age was about 81
years, aud she leaves a husband and
several children to mourn the loss of a

the sweetest of mothers. The funeral
takes place to-day, and her remains

FARMERS ALLIANCE.

The Stevens County Farmers Al
lance met mt the court house In

meeting was we'll attended an'i much
enthusiasm was manifested. The
speakers for the occasion were Gen.
L. H. Barrett and Il. c. uoigson. II.
j. Hall and Mr.. Phelps also made
brief speeches.
Gen. Barrett spoke principally Of
transportation matters, showing that
the present exorbItant and unneces-
sarily high tariff rates to be burden
too great for any community to carry
and be successful. The tariff rates
necessary to pay present lavish sal
aries and present large dividends up
on actual capital invested would be
tax great enough to make the differ
erence between success and failure
for any community, but when i'll adj
dition to this, tax Is levied great
enough to pay dividends Oh watered
stock as well, the demands and
charges of the railway companies
amount to nothing less tlan whole
sale robbery of the people. i. G..
Hodgson spoke of individual respon-
sibility and urged the faimers to be-
come more thoroughly united tor
mutual benefit and protection. Both
addresses were instructive and inter-
esting and were listened to with
marked attention.
Another meeting of the County. AL
lance will be held on Saturday, June
25th at 3 o'clock p. NJ. at the same
